Taiwan Semi's blowout quarter is a positive sign for 3 of our tech stocks
Every weekday the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a “Morning Meeting” livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here’s a recap of Thursday’ s key moments. 1. The three major stock averages are up on Thursday, as investors react positively to news headlines, including President Donald Trump saying that he’s not planning to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Jim Cramer is focused on today’s star portfolio gainers. “What’s really happening is that we are seeing an explosion for some of the companies that we own,” he said. BlackRock shares soared more than 5% after a strong quarter, and Goldman Sachs gained more than 4% despite mixed results. 2. Despite Wednesday’s dip, our trusted S & P 500 Short Range Oscillator is now “technically overbought,” said Jeff Marks, director of portfolio analysis for the Club. These levels are enough to “scrutinize” the markets, Jim added, as the Club scouts its next play. “It’s tough to buy here,” he said. Instead, we booked profits in Dover this morning to raise cash and trimmed Honeywell on Wednesday to capitalize on the stock’s recent rally. 3. Taiwan Semiconductor had an earnings blowout with guidance exceeding expectations. The company forecast 2026 revenue at roughly 30% year over year, up from the previously expected 25%, citing AI demand as the driver. The company also said demand for smartphones and PCs remains strong. Taiwan Semi’s latest earnings are positive signals for both of our chipmakers, Nvidia and Broadcom . Apple is also a winner and shares “should be bought, if not aggressively.” 4. Stocks covered in Thursday’s rapid fire at the end of the video were: Morgan Stanley , Applied Materials , Draft Kings , and GE Healthcare .
